Grafton / had weakly few hours follow
ing requested some token that would
commit her answer, before, from every
point of view, her mind had taken time
to shape, or form, the decision that would
stamp forever her future.
I blamed myself severely for the eager
request What could have prompted my
action All it was the sight of a mis-
cradle little bauble of an arrow that she
wore, which emitted small malicious
sparkles of financial value, as it moved
before my eyes. That arrow, had clipt
the wings of delight and fancy contract
ing my ideal and visionary future, to the
small mote that panied, and harrassed,
from any view, that thought would take.
Two days since | had declined an
invitation 10 dine with an acquaintance
at whose house the little circle of "our
sett' were to be entertained. SO free
from all engagements, with a spare
evening for the retirement of my room,
| prepared for home rest. Drawing on
my dressing jacket, and adjusting my
slippers, drank glass of wine, lit my
cigar and sinking down upon a low
couch closed my eyes seeking the obliv-
ion Of sleep.
Although my mind, self accusing, and
i'll at ease kept thought alive, | must
have passed into that delightful realm
that borders deep repose. ForI found
when rap at the door aroused me, that
the fire had burned low and the clock
was Ginning nine.

knocking.

very gratifying to his aesthetic taste.
He had, probably, not the slightest
doubt that he could fail, to gain this
treasure. He had seldom failed to
obtain at any price that which he de-
sired, and evidently he had made up his
mind that he would have this pretty
creature.
When we walked over the lawn Ca
iron kept his position by Miss Pryor's
side: seated at luncheon on her left, he
continued his conversation for her ears
alone, while his pale inexpensive face
dllated with awakened interest as he
gazed at the sweet face at his side,
while he continuing to descant upon the
printing of spray or the tint of cup
belonging to the luncheon service.
The repast over the toasts acknowl-
edged, we found seats under the trees,
where were placed garden chairs.
Floyd's bass, Taylor's barytone with
Miss Sloan's soprano blended in
harmonious strains. Then came glees,
roundelays and numerous songs: until
the Archers club with changeful deep
melodious voice, launched through
the woods the rhythm and jubilant
strains that suited the pastime and the
day.
"Well bend the bow wi tn Robin Hoods men,"
"Yo no my merry men ALL"
The rule of the club that made walk
ing to the "meet' compulsory did not
extend to 'the return the members
driving or walking homeward as incli-
nation suggested.
So when the pleasant morning, out of
doors at Blithewood, was over, and the
carriage | had engaged to await me,
appeared, Catron and Miss Sloan
through some misunderstanding with
his driver, were conveyed with us to that
lady's residence where with Miss Sloan
he made his adieux to Miss Pryor and
mysel.
AS | handed Miss Pryor up the broad
steps of her own veranda, l said sotlo

Our Legislators should not go too far
IN their war on railway passes. 1t may
be true that one of themselves is in dan
ger of being sold for the price of ticket,
but who would suspect an editor of
putting so small value ON himself? Or
dinarily his cheek is capable of indie fl
mite expansion in the direction of his self
esteem, and even if he is a member of
the Fourth Estate he has not vet forfeit
ed his citizenship and therefore is pre-
sumed to have some rights that may be
respected. But the delegate to a party
convention is also a private citizen and
presumably nothing else; will the law
refuse him the right of accepting a

THE PALATKA DAILY News has failed to
reach Tallahassee in the regular course
of mail after being started all right.
There are some mysterious features in
this failure or omission of Uncle Sans

ported to the Superintendent of the Rail
way Mail system for this division, who
promises to give the matter his immedi-
ate and personal attention. Inadvertence
may take the blame occasionally, but
lightning rarely strikes in the same place
three times in succession. The Florida

at us, and there will be explanations also

The Eject Of the Contest.

The Senatorial contest in the Florida
Legislature will have been virtually de-
cided before this issue of THE PALArKA
NEWS reaches its readers and in a few
days the result may be considered with
the calmer feeling which follows a strug-
gle so prolonged and so bitter. A close
contest has now become the usual thing
IN the election of Federal Senators. but
there is no excuse for the bitter feeling
or personal attack which has character
lied the rivalry in Florida And it will
be universally conceded that for this con-
dition Of things neither of the leaders
can be held responsible. 1t is the out

A Venerable Rug.

I have in my possession rug which is

Malatia, on the Euphrates, where a Ma
home.an family had owned it for at
least 3Oe y ,ars. The rug is different from
most OF those of modern make, being
palmer n pattern and somewhat crude
in finish. Its design is interesting as a
specimen of that realism in art which
precedes all conventional design. 1t
represents the facade of a mosque of
medieval Moorish style, with two NINA
rets on either side and a number of tur-
rets rising toward the centre, where the
highest is surmounted by crescent and
star. Only the four primary colors are
used. and, while age has dimmed and
made them richer, there is none of that

1t appears that the Emperor has had
his fortune told twice. The first time
was in 1858. He was strolling incognitO
i'm a wood near Baden, accompanied by
his faithful Bismarck and other friends.
Suddenly they came across an old gypsy,
who begged to be allowed to tell their
fortunes Several of the party having
tried their luck, his Majesty consented
to do likewise. The gypsy took his hand
and after minute study, said: Il see a
great crown. bloodshed, wars, laurels
and life of 90 years." The second time
was 1884. The Emperor had forgotten
all about the gypsys prophecy when a
neice of Count Czechenyl, the Austrian
Ambassador, arrived in Berlin and Gre
ated a great sensation not only by her
beauty but also by her reputed skill in
palmistry. She was presented at Court,

her. She had no sooner scrutinized his

While he is a candidate his public acts
and official conduct in the past are fair
objects of criticism, and to this no one
can Justly object But it is due that the
basis of this criticism be plainly given

the public be not biased or influenced
by statements outside the record.

that this has come from the introduction
of weapon new to our people and here

but ''anonymosity" has hurled its enven-
omed shafts without adducing proofs

bitterness has flowed to the injury of

The editor of the Thunderer is threat
ened with confinement in the Clock
Tower for his connection with the dubi-
Gus Parnell letter. Times have sadly de-
generated since powerful suspects were
given quarters in the Tower of London
and guarded with all the ceremonies de-
rived from the dark ages till they were
taken to the block and turned off with
full ceremony. We submit that the
whole fraternity will be insulted by this
vulgar talk of Clock Tower. Many
towns in Florida could put on that much
style and furnish the editor, too.

The vote in open session yesterday
shows that both parties to the Senatorial
contest have kept loyal faith and the
agreement previously made has been
strictly carried out. The strength Of
both candidates was dissipated so as to
prevent an election, and the decision left
to the Democratic caucus last night.
This proves conclusively that the fears of
''disrupting the party" so freely expressed
in certain quarters We're without war
rant, or have been entirely removed by
the sober second thought of the leaders.

Every man knows that there is a great

When Kossuth spoke in Concord he

Men and Women mt the Table.


Everything you can eat with small
spoon was invented for women. 1t was
delicate fiattery in the male sex to thus
infer the dainty size of the female
mouth. There is not so much difference
in quantity of consumption between the
two, but man, being naturally a coarser
animal, thinks he has to eat most and he
uses a big spoon But the little spoon
goes oftener to the lips. The fact is that
woman's great joke on man is the way
she allows him to think things and never
undeceives him. \ man takes up the
bill of fare and smacks his lips and
makes great show of appetite and en-
joyment. A woman never makes any
demonstration, but the simple, innocent
way in which she gets away with the
menu is delightful. A man bowls when
he is hungry. A woman never says she
is hungry; she Just waits till the man
bowls, and, under the cover of his enOr-
nous appetite and fierce demonstration,
she has good square meal and he thinks
she Is so delicate.
